An aircraft pilot would have to pilot and navigate the flight of a multi-engine aircraft to transport passengers and cargo around the world on a daily basis. Requires Federal Air Transport rating and certification in specific aircraft type used.
Education and/or training requirements and salary ranges (starting salary, middle salary, high salary)
The education needed for this position is coursework in physics, aeronautical engineering, mathematics and English approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Aspiring airline pilots are required to complete a number of hours of flight training, which varies by company and position. Flight training can be done through some degree programs or through a flying school that is approved by the FAA. To obtain a pilot's license, minimum hours of flight experience must be completed. Individuals are also expected to pass a written exam and demonstrate flying ability.

The average annual salary of this job is $117,060.00
Core Subjects
What do you need to do now to help prepare you for this career?
Mathematics is used when you may have a broken instrument (as in a compass or a level) and you were above the ocean you would need to calculate the approx. location of your destination. In any case you would need to use mathematics to read the instruments. Science is used in being a pilot when you are calculating the speed that you need to go to create lift so the plane can fly.
Reason for choosing your career
How does it represent what you found out about yourself using the career inventories?
I chose an airline pilot because I have always been interested in airplanes and how they get a ten ton plane into the air and I have always thought it would be fun to travel to all parts of the world. I think that I would be good at this job because I am very good with machines and I can solve problems quickly and efficiently. I found out that I am a tactical learner.
